We have received widespread reports from papers that can’t submit eDoc. USPS has confirmed the issue and is working on it. No known time frame for resolution yet.

Anyone unable to submit eDoc should mail under the contingency plan. Hard-copy postage statements should NOT be submitted to USPS, instead follow the guidelines in the contingency plan.

The PostalOne! Help Desk has issued ticket #4093877 that can be referenced to acceptance staff when mailing.

Some papers have reported local post offices refusing to accept or process mailing without postage statements in their system, which is not a requirement when operating under the contingency plan per Page 4 of the contingency plan as noted below.

FROM PAGE 4 OF THE CONTIGENCY PLAN
